Bruce Lee's Self Defense Techniques

** Note: another article transplanted to here, even though it's not comic related, I liked it and wanted to post it somewhere. **

I was digging through my bookshelf yesterday and came across Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: Self-Defense Techniques. It was printed posthumously around 1976, but the photos date to 1966. It has a variety of techniques to help defend oneself. I've taken the liberty of scanning a few that highlight the destructive nature of Bruce Lee's Self Defense.

Defense from a Bear Hug

Punch the groin

Defense from headlock

Punch the groin

Defense from Front Punch

Kick the groin

Defense from Front Kick

Kick. The. Groin.

Defense from Weapon Attack

Toe. To. The. Groin.

Defense From Sitting Position

Having a cup of tea - Bam! Punch to the groin!

Defense from Front Grab

To the groin!

Defense from Multiple Attackers

Groin!

Defense from Multiple Attackers Alternative

Devastating

Moral of the Story: Don't ever mess with Bruce Lee or any of his disciples. Ever.
